# Patient-Specific Cell Model
**Entity class:** Computational medicine model
**Domain:** Precision medicine / Computational biology
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
A patient-specific cell model is calibrated to biological material or measurements from one person rather than only to a population average.
## Mechanism and significance
Such a model may improve prediction of differential drug response while remaining a model of selected cells and assays rather than a complete digital substitute for the patient.
